The Newberry Sun, Newberry, S. C., Thursday, Jan. 11, 1968—PAGE 3 UDC Chapter hears program by children Drayton Rutherford Chapter of the United Daughters of the Confederacy met in the social room in Aveleigh Presbyterian church Friday afternoon. Hos tesses for the meeting were Mrs. John J. Chappell, Mrs. Leon Nichols and Mrs. L. G. McCullough. Mrs. W. E. Shealy, Chaplain, led the ritual and salutes to the flag. Mrs. Ralph B. Baker, presi dent, told members that the British Broadcasting System had contacted the UDC as part of a project to televise Wom en’s Clubs in America. She stated that the UDC was the first group contacted, and that BBC-TV was guided to the UDC by the U. S. Library in London with the idea that “ours is a Patriotic organiza- t : on that concerns ourselves with philanthropy and educa tion.” Mrs. Baker welcomed mem bers of the Elo:se W right Chapter-, Children of the Con federacy, and turned the pro gram over to the program lead er, Mrs. Frasier Sanders. Representative of the ele mentary, junior high and high school groups of the Children of The Confederacy, under Mrs. Sander's’ direction, gave an in spiring program of Confeder ate music, which began with the playing of “Taps” while members bowed their heads in memory of the Confederate dead. Susan Sligh, narrator, gave the following information, con cerning thesongs the group sang: During the war, the soldiers wanted songs that took their minds off the tragic events. “Eating Goober Peas” is a happy-go-lucky tune that cheered men of the Confeder ate army. After singing this, the group sang “Bonnie Blue Flag.” This is a rousing march tune second in popularity to Dixie. It was sung at the Mis sissippi convention on January 9, 1861 when the act of Seces sion was passed. The hardships of the war were felt by Southern women whose feelings were expressed in a poem by Miss Carrie Bell Sinclair entitled “Homespun Dress”. The words were sung to the tune of Bonnie Blue Flag and later became known as "The Southern Girl’s Song.” James R. Randall, a native of Maryland, was a professor of English at a college in Lou is : ana. After reading the news about street fighting in Balti more, he wrote his immortal poem, “Maryland, My Mary land" in April 1861. Miss Jen nie Cory adapted the words to the tune of “0 Tannenbaum” and sang it before a Confeder ate gathering in Virginia on July 4, 1861. Its success was overwhelming because the words expressed with intense emotion the feelings of the South. Other songs by the group included “Yellow Rose of Texas,” “For Bales” and “Rose of Alabama.” A trumpet solo, “Lorena” was played by Conii Sanders. Without a doubt, “Dixie” was the number one song of the South, just as “Battle Hymn >f The Republic” was number me of the North.

Social Security Information “Social Security will help Christmas appear a little brighter than it might have been for many families in this area,” Miss Martha Pressly, District Manager of the Green wood District Office said. “Many persons are receiving survivors benefits in the area serviced by the Greenwood Dis trict Office,” Miss Pressly stat ed. “In many mstances, the survivors program serves the younger people with children. Without social security, these families of deceased workers would have very little income. The younger worker generally would not have had an oppor tunity to have built an insur ance program and savings that would have provided for his family in the event of his death,” Miss Pressly said. “Monthly survivors benefits are paid to the family, widow and children under age 18, of a deceased worker. These pay ments can amount to a con siderable sum over a period of years,” according to Miss Pressly. For further information a- bout the survivors program of Social Security, contact the office at 219 Magnolia Avenue in Greenwood. Office hours are from 8:45 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Monday through Friday.
